An Intelligent Software Workflow Process Design for Location Management on Mobile Devices
This work addresses software design challenges for mobile networks, but it appears incremental as it extends an existing process modeling tool with intelligent capabilities.
The paper tackles the challenge of designing software systems for mobile networks, specifically location and mobility management, by proposing an intelligent software tool based on Business Process Redesign (BPR) to suggest favorable alternatives for improving flexibility on mobile devices.
Advances in the technologies of networking, wireless communication and trimness of computers lead to the rapid development in mobile communication infrastructure, and have drastically changed information processing on mobile devices. Users carrying portable devices can freely move around, while still connected to the network. This provides flexibility in accessing information anywhere at any time. For improving more flexibility on mobile device, the new challenges in designing software systems for mobile networks include location and mobility management, channel allocation, power saving and security. In this paper, we are proposing intelligent software tool for software design on mobile devices to fulfill the new challenges on mobile location and mobility management. In this study, the proposed Business Process Redesign (BPR) concept is aims at an extension of the capabilities of an existing, widely used process modeling tool in industry with 'Intelligent' capabilities to suggest favorable alternatives to an existing software workflow design for improving flexibilities on mobile devices.
